Introduction to angles & angle rules
|||| Unit 1 Module 1-16 of 17
Contents: Lines and angles
Time: 2 – 4 hours
SPECIFICATION REFERENCE
GM t
Measure and draw lines and use a protractor to measure and draw angles of all sizes
GM t
Use a protractor to draw angles accurately
GM a
Use the fact that angles at a point add to 360°
PRIOR KNOWLEDGE
  • An understanding of angle as a measure of turning
  • The ability to use a ruler and protractor
OBJECTIVES Lesson plans
  • Estimate the size of an angle in degrees (assumed)
  • Measure and draw angles to the nearest degree (assumed)
  • Measure and draw lines to the nearest mm (assumed)
  • Use angle properties ‘at a point’ to calculate unknown angles (3.1)
DIFFERENTIATION & EXTENSION
  • Extend to other angle facts in triangles, parallel lines and/or quadrilaterals (preparation for Unit 2)
NOTES
  • Make sure that all pencils are sharp and drawings are neat and accurate
  • Angles should be correct to within 2°, lengths correct to the nearest mm
  • Apply skills to constructing pie charts
